Video Schema Guide in Tapita SEO & Speed
Google Search is an entry point for people to discover and watch videos. While Google tries to automatically understand details about your video, you can explicitly provide information, such as the description, thumbnail URL, upload date, and duration, by marking up your video with Video schema. Videos can appear in Google Search results, video search results, Google Images, and Google Discover.
